API Reference

Descriptors

Descriptors are functions that define and configure various aspects of your application. They follow the convention of starting with $ and return configured descriptor instances.

For more details, see the Descriptors documentation.

$cookie()

Declares a type-safe, configurable HTTP cookie. This descriptor provides methods to get, set, and delete the cookie within the server request/response cycle.
